Any glass cleaner is fine. What exactly are you having trouble with?
Don't need any fancy car stuff, just normal windowlene will do.

Auto Finesse Crystal is amazing for windows - easiest thing I've found to get crystal clear, smear free windows inside and out.

I just use some Turtle Wax stuff from Halfords. Then with paper towels, rather than cloth.

Meguires glass cleaner spray is good and smells amazing.
Autoglym glass polish is pretty good too

Cleaning windows. I know what you are saying isn't right because ive had something in the past that made it easier than normal stuff, just can't remember what it was!
Thanks to those with helpful replies.

Fast Glass and a clean microfibre makes it a piece of piss but I do sort of agree with Ben, any vinegar type glass cleaner spray should do the same job.

The auto glym glass polish is far to dusty!!
I used meguiars glass cleaner, with a clear microfibre wipe horizontally constantly, then with a dry microfibre wipe vertically to remove smear marks

+1 for Auto Finesse Crystal Glass Cleaner ! Literally spray on , wipe round and leave it to haze off . Never leaves streaks either ! Probably takes 2 minutes to do the exterior side of the windows !

I smoke in my car and windscreen gets covered in resin. I use white spirits first with a ripped up towel. Then a normal household glass cleaner spray with kitchen roll. Then a car glass polish like clear vue or autogylm one.
Seems to work. Main thing is using clean stuff to wipe it and not just spreading the dirt about

Chemical Guys or Auto Finesse rate both highly, AF probably just nicks it for ease of application and no streaks.

Can't imagine spilling moose glaze on an otter box with an ice cream sandwich android in it.
Everything is turning a bit willy wonka these days.
